Mihir Ranjan Parida vs Menja Naik And Ors

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal for expunction of adverse observations made by the High Court against the appellant, who is a presiding Judge. The Court held that while the Judge may have passed a wrong order, it does not justify the imposition of adverse remarks. Consequently, all such remarks in the impugned order were expunged, affirming the principle that judicial errors should not attract unwarranted criticism.
